Disaster struck as the collapsed bridge in the foreground was being constructed across the Mountain

Disaster struck as the collapsed bridge in the foreground was being constructed across the Mountain Fork Little River near Potter, Arkansas..   A flood came along and collapsed the piers before the bridge was finished.   The cement block laying flat in the water in the top photo, and the leaning block in the lower photo are what now remains of the collapsed piers.  Rather than continue with the taller bridge after the flood; a “low water” bridge was built just past it, the remains of which can be seen in the top photo.  In 1979, another bridge was built along CR 48 to replace the now abandoned low water bridge, which is where we stood to take these shots.  We weren’t about to walk down to the old bridges because we were traveling and we hadn’t brought our snake boots.  This area is notorious for water moccasins.  -- source link
